This week we've had a whole bunch of just awesome miracles! :D The first one started on the evening of last P-day with a huge miracle of finding a new family.

| Awesome Mural! |
It was Monday evening and we were tracting in an area that neither of us had been to before, and we knocked on this corner house and nobody answered. So, we crossed the street to continue onward, and turned around to look at the house again, and saw that there was a side-door to the house we had just knocked on! We both felt an impression that we needed to knock on that door, and so we went. As we were climbing the stairs to that other door, a woman holding a baby opened the window and simply asked us, "Do you want to come in?" Of course we do!!! So, we went in and started talking to this woman and her 2 daughters that were home (age 19 and 22) and then her husband got home like a minute later with his friend. We talked to them a bunch, and it turns out that they had been meeting with the missionaries 7 years ago when they had lived in another house!!! The family is Dominican and they are 7th Day Adventist, and so we asked them if they knew our friend Yolanda who is also Dominican and Adventist, and then Justin, the dad, said "Yeah, that's my sister." ?!?!?!?! What in the world? That is SO awesome! They are related to another investigator family! :D And while we were teaching them about the Restoration, Yolanda walked right in and saw us and had a little freak out moment... :P It was awesome! This family is all new investigators!
Tuesday we had a HUGE miracle too!!! It was a miracle because, while we were on exchanges with the Elders serving in the Muskego Lakes ward, we got to go to a lesson with the Angeles family. I was with Elder Thatcher and all we were going to be doing for the lesson was talking to them more about getting married. However, when I first brought it up, Victor looked at me and was all like "Elder, I've already decided what I want to do. I'm going to marry her!" Dang - I just about freaked out right there and then. We've been working SO hard with them and finally he decided to marry her! But the funny part is that after he said that, his comment took Blanca so off-guard that she got a little nervous and she couldn't believe it and everyhting - it was awesome! :D
Then, on Wednesday (SOOO MANY MIRACLES THIS WEEK) we got to give the Oak Creek Elders a ride down to a city called Cudahy, which is like 20 minutes south of Milwaukee. So, we took them down there and dropped them off at a lesson. While we were down there, we remembered that we had seen a name on the branch list that lived in Cudahy, so we looked it up and went to knock on the door. Turns out her name is Darleen and she is cousins with the super prominent Ruiz family that makes up bascially the back-bone of the Branch!! So, we talked to her briefly and then set up a return appointment. :) After that, we went and visited with Darleen's aunt (who we already had an appointment with) whose name is Michelle. We talked to her and her 2 daughters, all of whom have been less active for a few years, and shared a brief Spiritual thought with them, and let me tell you the Spirit was SO strong! So strong that by the end of it, all 3 of them told us that they wanted to come back to church because they could feel the difference in their lives with the Spirit and then without it.

On Friday, I had a really good time on exchanges with none other than Elder Cameron Fry from Orem, Utah. Any of you know him? If you went to Timpanogos High School, based on all of the stories he told me, you probably knew him. Basically, he's a stud. He's hard working. He's a good missionary! We had a great time and got to teach an awesome family - Vanessa Garcia and her family, and got to have a good time playing with them after the lesson on Tithing. It involved a lot of running and jumping and stuff like that, but it was really fun. :) We also taught like 6 other lessons throughout the rest of the day, so I'd say that it was a success! #swimmingfry

Saturday was fun because we had a birthday party that we got to go to, we got to help the Velasco's learn a bit about Family History, we got to do a project for the mission president involving planning a meeting for the Spanish missionaries, and of course in the morning we played soccer where I had a LEGIT header goal from a corner kick! (Pretty proud of that one)

Sunday's miracle was that a former investigator came to church and told us that he 100% wants to get baptized, so we set a baptismal date with him as a goal and hopefully it will work out! His name is Jesus and he seems pretty cool! And then that night we got to go to a legit cookout with a whole bunch of Mexicans! :D
Sunday AND Monday we had awesome cookouts too, but this time it was with the Ruiz family instead of the Velasco's friends. What an awesome week! :D Shout out to Annette Ruiz! :D
